The 1996 Hugo Awards Ceremony was held in Anaheim on Sunday, September 1, 1996.

442 members of L.A.con III and Intersection submitted valid nominating ballots. There were 939 valid final ballots received. Of these voters, 558 also voted for the 1946 Retro-Hugo Awards.

In some categories more than 5 nominations appear due to tie votes. “The Fall of Night” (Babylon 5) received enough votes to be nominated for Best Dramatic Presentation, but the producers declined its nomination in favor of “The Coming of Shadows”, the other Babylon 5 episode nominated. File 770 received enough votes to be nominated for Best Fanzine, but was ruled ineligible because its editor, Mike Glyer, is a member of the Hugo Awards subcommittee. Linda Nagata received enough votes to be nominated for the John W. Campbell Award, but was ruled ineligible due to professional publication of fiction in the science fiction and fantasy field prior to 1994.
